"An Introduction to (Lagrangian) Mean Curvature Flow"

In this talk, we will introduce the Mean Curvature Flow and explore some initial examples of the flow. We will show that in the compact case, the flow always produces singularities. We will also introduce type I and type II singularities. Finally, if time permits, we will discuss the Lagrangian Mean Curvature Flow and demonstrate that a mean curvature flow starting from a Lagrangian remains Lagrangian.
